Their forthcoming second albumBAD STARfinds HIMALAYAS – Joe Williams (vocals/guitar), Mike Griffiths (guitar/vocals), Louis Heaps (bass) and James Goulbourn (drums) – expanding far beyond the indie-rock of their first worksFrom Hell To Herein 2023, withBAD STARnow seeing the band taking in influence from Queens Of The Stone Age, Radiohead, Royal Blood and Foo Fighters.
Working with producer Pete Hutchings (Royal Blood, Nothing But Thieves, Skindred) the result onBAD STARis 10 tracks that finds the band oozing with confidence, with a sharp skill in inventive but catchy riffs, slinking rhythms, and an ever-present sense of vastness of both sound and vision.
The band have released a string of successful singles from the album including the energetic thrashy groove of‘Hung Up’, the creepy alt-rock of‘Nothing Higher’, the ferocious stomp of‘Cave Paintings’(selected in Radio 1’s 2024 Big Hitters) as well another hit with‘What If…?’which reached No.2 in the Kerrang Magazine Chart while being added to the Kerrang Radio Playlist as well as receiving support from Radio X and across Radio 1 from the Rock Show, Indie Show and BBC Introducing.
Latest singe ‘Afterlife’is a cavernous pensive anthem which was released last week and has been championed in a number of high profile streaming playlists including Spotify’s New Music Friday, All New Rock, The Rock List and more.
BAD STARis a record which reaches for enormous heights and is set to send HIMALAYAS supernova.
